Coffee Hour

The Philosophy Club organizes several Coffee Hours throughout the academic year.
At a typical Coffee Hour, a philosophy faculty member takes about 20 minutes to
introduce a philosophical subject or problem and then audience members are invited
to participate in an informal discussion of the topic. Faculty members from other
departments, as well as philosophy students, are also often invited to lead Coffee
Hours.

Student Jobs

The Philosophy Department occasionally has work-study opportunities in its office
for students. These opportunities are available to majors and non-majors alike.
Contact
Ken Enoch if you have questions about working for the philosophy department.

Conferences & Speakers

Each year, the department hosts several conferences. These include the "in-house"
conference which features work from WVU faculty and students (student presenters
receive a cash prize for having their work selected), a national undergraduate
philosophy conference, and the Mid-Atlantic Philosophy of Language Workshop. In
addition, throughout the year, the department brings in notable philosophers from
around the world to give public lectures. Some of these lectures are tied to larger
annual events such as Applied Ethics Day.
